81A--
The one thing I would say, even in her sophomore year Nneka had more of a face-up game going on. Chiney showed something with her drives from the high post on Saturday; now she just needs the jumper to go with it. Chiney is a little more fierce going after the ball. Nneka had better hands.
Also, need plays into it; Nneka had Jayne her sophomore year, and often played high-post/weak side while Jayne camped back to basket. This year's roles aren't as neatly defined, I think. The thing people don't remember as well about Jayne was just how big she was, in terms of eating space in the lane both offensively and defensively. Neither Chiney nor Nneka has that kind of size.
At least IMHO/IIRC,
